"As I look back, I know that this personal transformation is more important for me in my career aspirations than any practical knowledge ever could be. Yes I learned a lot while I was in German about things like the German people and cultures, insurance, math, research methods, and travel arrangements. But I am most grateful for the personal development that Germany has afforded me this summer. I know that I am a more confident human being now. I tell everyone that they also must study or work abroad. Entering college I never thought that I was going to be the kid who so adamantly petitioned for people to go abroad, but that is now who I have become."
